The Flash Will Apparently Never Let Caitlin Snow Catch A Break

The Flash Season 8 Episode 11 There are many things we all know to be true about The Flash. Barry Allen is the fastest man alive. Eobard Thawne will never really die. The rules of time travel are whatever the show needs them to be in any given episode. And Caitlin Snow will get her heart broken in every possible way imaginable. This poor girl simply cannot catch a break in any season or reality, so it probably shouldn’t surprise us that the hinted return of her dead husband would end in the worst way possible for her....

The Green Knight Trailer Promises Return To Wonderful Weirdness Of Arthurian Legend

Whether it’s Antoine Fuqua and Disney’s questionable choice to produce a King Arthur movie without any of the actual magic or fantasy that made those legends enduring, or Guy Ritchie’s bizarre attempt to turn Arthurian archetypes into another boys-will-be-boys gangster movie—but now with medieval chainmail!—Hollywood has lately tried a little too hard to reinvent the wheel. That’s why The Green Knight trailer is so refreshingly weird. Yet that doesn’t make it unfaithful to the source material....

The Haunting Of Bly Manor The Poignant Tale Of Hannah Grose

“I liked your story”, a grown-up Flora tells an older Jamie in The Haunting of Bly Manor’s finale. “But I think you set it up wrong just in the beginning. You said it was a ghost story. It isn’t. It’s a love story.” Almost right. The Haunting of Bly Manor is two love stories: the centre-stage romance between Bly’s au pair and gardener Dani and Jamie, and the unrealised romance between housekeeper and chef, Hannah and Owen....

The Invisible Life Of Addie Larue A Tale Of Immortality A Decade In The Making

The first time I ever interviewed V.E. Schwab, she told me about The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. It was July 2018 and we were sitting in the lobby of the Hilton Bayfront Hotel during San Diego Comic Con. Schwab was in the midst of a promotional tour for Vengeful, the second book in her Villains series, with the launch of her middle grade fantasy series City of Ghosts just around the corner, but she couldn’t help but also mention then work-in-progress The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue....

The Last Of Us Hbo Series Set Photo Offers First Real Look At Joel

Fortunately, the creative director behind the video games, Neil Druckmann, has written all of the episodes of the show’s upcoming first season, and is even directing one of the episodes. At the very least, bringing on one of the game’s creators means that HBO is really striving for authenticity here, and with Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin as executive producer, the network has a showrunner with a proven track record when it comes to edge-of-your-seat drama....

The Magicians Season 2 Episode 12 Review Ramifications

The Magicians Season 2 Episode 12 It can’t be emphasized enough: The Magicians has become more and more magnificently unpredictable, even for those who have read the books. As each character embarks on separate, equally interesting quests, the richness of the story deepens. Of particular interest this week was the strangely powerful advice of Mayakovsky, the surprising sacrifice of Senator Gaines as well as that of Penny’s new supervisor, and the unexpected appearance of another of Fillory’s gods....

The Mandalorian How Carl Weathers Star Wars Directorial Debut Brilliantly Evokes A New Hope

In many ways, The Mandalorian episode “The Siege” is a love letter to George Lucas’ original Star Wars movie: the episode draws heavily from classic scenes from the original film for its own action sequences and set dressing. The combat in particular nods at scenes straight out of the Original Trilogy. “The Siege” marks the Star Wars directorial debut of actor Carl Weathers, who also plays Greef Karga on the show....

The Mandalorian Season 3 Trailer Breakdown Bo Katan Mandalore And Babu Frik

As you might expect, season 3 will see Mando and his little Force-sensitive pal trying to tie up quite a few loose ends from season 2 and Boba Fett. In fact, the latter spinoff series is vital to understanding what the heck is even going on in the season 3 trailer released during D23 studio showcase today. We’ll get to all that Mandalorian and Jedi baggage in our trailer breakdown, but first, if you’ve yet to watch the video, you can check it out below: Okay, now that you’ve watched it, here are a few things we spotted in the trailer and what they might mean for The Mandalorian season 3…...

The Matrix Resurrections Did Neo Choose To Be Plugged Back In

Yep, still pretty cool. All of Den of Geek’s sentinels are hard at work in Machine City right now breaking down every inch of new Matrix Resurrections footage. In the meantime, however, there’s one urgent question that needs to be addressed. How did Neo (Keanu Reeves) make it back into The Matrix anyway? The trailer leaves no confusion that when the fourth Matrix film picks up, Neo will be back in The Matrix’s artificial world, living out his life as the lowly office drone Thomas Anderson once again....

The Midnight Club Mike Flanagan Gives Season 2 Answers

While most of Flanagan’s Netflix projects were designed to be one season miniseries, he had at least one more season in mind to tell The Midnight Club’s story and left some things unanswered on purpose. Even though we won’t get to see the story of Brightcliffe continue onscreen, Flanagan was kind enough to share answers to questions left by season 1 as well as how he and Leah Fong hoped to end the second season on tumblr....

The Missing Thanos Connection In Marvel S Eternals

Where’s Thanos? Yes, the very same Thanos who snapped half the universe into oblivion in Infinity Gauntlet (and more memorably on screen in Avengers: Infinity War) is actually a member of the Eternal race. And a member of their opposing force, the Deviants. It’s very complicated. Spoilers for Kieron Gillen and Esad Ribic’s The Eternals follow. The Eternals were created by the Celestials to protect themselves and their experiments on Earth....

The Northman Will Robert Eggers Bring Art House To Beefcake Cinema

This highly anticipated 2021 release is writer-director Eggers’ first step outside the horror genre (and A24) after the one-two punch of The Witch (2016) and The Lighthouse (2019). And The Northman looks like a blood-soaked throwback to the kind of swords and bicep movies they don’t make anymore, with Alexander Skarsgård’s Amleth swearing vengeance on Fjölnir (Claes Bang), the man who killed his father. However, given the pedigree of everyone involved, including Nicole Kidman, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ethan Hawke, and Willem Dafoe—plus Eggers himself—there’s clearly something more afoot....

The Rings Of Power The Secret Code For Fans To Decipher In The Opening Titles

But creators Katrina Crawford and Mark Bashore of the Seattle-based studio Plains of Yonder had an even more daunting task than many viewers may have initially realized: To not only create a sequence that felt true to the world of The Rings of Power but one that served as something of a visual crash course in the history of the Second Age in which it is based. “Every time we take on a project, we research heavily,” Bashore tells Den of Geek....

The Sandman Dressing Lucifer And Other Costume And Prop Secrets From The Netflix Series

The art of props and costumes can sometimes be an invisible one for viewers, only really noticeable when the team does something that feels wrong. The devil is in the detail—those small pieces that appear on the set, whether it’s a flagon appropriate to the 1600s or a vibrant costume that sets the tone of the scene. When everything comes together to create the right atmosphere, the props and costumes feel seamless, an enhancement of the world....

The Shared Universes That Copied Marvel And Failed

Nevertheless, it’s safe to say that before 2012, the idea of connecting your movies remained an eccentricity—a creative flourish by filmmakers like Kevin Smith or network television executives who wanted to maximize programming block synergy. It wasn’t something studios considered to be a viable commercial opportunity. Then The Avengers happened. Released in 2012 and viewed throughout the industry as an ambitious bet by the upstarts at Marvel Studios, that movie became the first to gross $200 million in its opening domestic weekend....

The Simpsons Season 32 Episode 8 Review The Road To Cincinnati

The Simpsons Season 32 Episode 8 The Simpsons season 32, episode 8, ” The Road to Cincinnati” gets off to a bumpy start. It stars two less-than-charismatic secondary characters, and the Simpson family barely make an appearance. The episode is basically a road trip, but Chalmers and Skinner are no Hope and Crosby, and the destination is a city over-crowded with used punchline fodder: Cincinnati, the “birthplace of Pete Rose’s gambling problem....

And pity The Simpsons, they actually used that bit, and it’s not the most toxic thing about “The King of Nice.” Marge, the happiest homemaker Gummy-melatonin can pacify, gets poisoned by the well of kindness, masquerading as daytime TV talk shows, and falls for the oldest of jokes, one just a few years too late....

The Sinner Season 3 Ending Explained

When planned miniseries decide to expand into traditional series, they often run the risk of rendering their titles moot. Such is the case with USA Network’s detective drama The Sinner. When it opted to move past its novel inspiration’s premise to tell new stories about detective Harry Ambrose, there was a real chance that the name “The Sinner” would become vestigial. The Sinner solved this problem by making sure that all its subsequent case subjects would be as focused on sin as season 1’s Cora Tannetti (Jessica Biel)....

The Spooky Secrets Of The Addams Family Movie

While both Uncle Fester (Christopher Lloyd) and Wednesday (Christina Ricci) might prefer to spend their holidays in the Bermuda Triangle, Gomez (Raul Julia) and Morticia (Anjelica Huston) need go no further than the family plot for their most relaxed reposts. Charles Addams’ characters have happily blighted American culture since The New Yorker published his first one-panel cartoon in 1938. In the 1960s, The Addams Family premiered on the same day as The Munsters debut, though both were ultimately taken down by the caped crusaders of Batman....

The Velvet Underground Review Lou Reed Was A Pop Singer All Along

Both Lou Reed and John Cage are renowned as antagonistic agitators, and the band had nothing but disdain for much of their contemporaries. They even had a spat with their west coast counterparts, Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention, who were also musically adventurous, and virulently anti-hippie. Because The Velvet Underground’s songs were about drugs and dregs, Zappa thought they were a group of heroin junkies looking for a banana to smoke....
